"Seagrove, NC— The Seagrove Area Pottery Center; formerly
known as the Museum of NC Traditional Pottery, is proud to present this year’s 34th
Annual Seagrove Pottery Festival! The Festival will include booths filled with
pottery and various traditional crafts, both of which have helped to make the
Festival one of the best places for meeting the potters and craftsmen while
shopping.

The event is held at
the Seagrove Elementary School located at 528 Old Plank Road in Seagrove and
takes place Nov. 21 & 22, 2015, from 9am-5pm both days. Admission
is $5.00 per person each day. Members of the Museum, as well as children under
12 with a paying adult, will be admitted free.

The Seagrove Area Pottery Center President Phil Morgan said,
“This amazing event draws pottery lovers from all over the world, as this is
the one time of the year that customers can travel to Seagrove and see many of
the potters in one location.” There are no back roads to travel, no getting
lost, and no time constraints on trying to pick which studios to visit!

The Festival focuses on the pottery and craft heritage of
this region. Educational activities for children and adults alike are
available. Potters will be demonstrating while handcrafted items from a
blacksmith, basket makers, leather crafts, woodcarvers and weavers will also be
available for purchase. Percheron Draft Horses will be stabled near the parking
lot. The patrons will also be able to purchase and glaze a pot with their
favorite color and then watch as it comes out of the Raku kiln, ready to take
home as a personal souvenir of the Festival.

The 34thPottery Festival Auction will take place
on Sunday afternoon at 4:00pm. This auction draws serious collectors and
attracts new collectors who can place their bids on limited edition pottery,
made specifically for this event. Each piece will be signed and dated. Sealed
bids will be accepted until 1pm on Sunday so bidders do not have to be
present to win. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Seagrove Area
Pottery Center and its ongoing mission of promoting pottery tourism for the
Seagrove area.
